Fighting over the computer

Weekend is here again. When everyone is at home, it means that everyone would be fighting over the pc in the room. Usually I try to avoid farming and harvesting my crops in Farmville and Farmtown in Facebook, so I do not need to be part of the competition. However, my little gal will always want to play with the pc when her dad plays computer games. So you know the rest of the story......

Hubby always scold little gal for touching the mouse and playing with his games every time he turns away. Hubby's current addiction is "Medieval 2". Sometimes little gal clicks this and that requests and makes hubby's army lost, which much annoys hubby, who fights hard in the battle. Lol! What to do? She is getting very good with clicking this and that, and ignoring my instructions.

Enjoy my food there

When you have a young baby, you cannot expect to spend much outdoor, not to mention, having a peaceful and decent meal outside. I can count my fingers on how many times I went out for breakfast during the weekend with my family. Lol! Most of the times, I prefer hubby to "tapau" and I eat at home as I don't really like to bring Baby Jay out.

One Sunday hubby managed to persuade me to bring Baby Jay along for breakfast. So we went to nearby cafe, called Yeow Kee at 101 Premier. It is about 5 minutes drive from our house so I agreed to his suggestion. By the way, that day was Baby Jay's first time went out with us for breakfast. Luckily he was well-behaved that day, listened to his surrounding and dozed off in his stroller. *wink*

Back to Yeow Kee cafe, I enjoy going there for breakfast and lunch as it offers many choices, from chicken rice, toasts, Taiwan-styled rice rolls, beef noodles and so on. However, it is very difficult to find tables and seats on the weekends.

If you are duck meat lover, then you must drop by Yeow Kee cafe for its duck noodle. This dish is recommended by my BIL, and I fall in love with it since the first day I tasted it.



The second time I went to Yeow Kee I remember to take photo of the dish to share with you. RM5.00 per bowl. The duck meat is tender and wantons are great. I love its big tang hoon too. Some people may don't like the smell of duck, but this dish is simply delicious. The duck is not that smelly, so don't worry too much about it. You may don't like the duck meat, but you will enjoy its tangy wanton.

New stroke, new name

You wouldn't believe it!

I change my Chinese name. Not really change it, it still sounds the same. Just add few strokes in one character and totally new strokes in another character. I couldn't change my surname, so that remain the same. Lol!

I got my new name last week from the "master". This master is the same guy that we consulted for our Baby Jay's name. It all started from there, when my SIL went to get the auspicious date and time for Baby Jay's delivery. Btw, Baby Jay is 2 months old yesterday. How fast he is growing every day. While consulting for a name for new baby, my SIL been a believer in such stuff, asked about her name. So that is how everyone in the family ended having new names (as in new strokes; the sound of names remain more or less the same). For better luck, the master said.

As for my old name, the master said I would be working and working my whole life, and a very frank person (meaning, I talk what I want to and will easily offend others). So my new name eludes those bad characters. Now I have to carry my new name in a piece of paper in my purse and a key chain tied to my house key. It is good thing, as I have yet accustomed to new new name. Some more, I am Mandarin illiterate. In future if anyone ask or want to know how to write my name, I just show them in that paper or on the key chain. However, I think I need to learn how to write it out.

I don't really believe in those stuff, and it costs a fortune to change a name too but since my hubby believes in those stuff, I just follow suit. Is it coincident or what? My SIL recently in good money luck, winning few 4Ds since she changed her name in July. Or is it something else? Hmm, I wonder my luck would change for good soon??

Bills and letters that never stop stacking up

I started to sort out the bills and letters that have have been accummulated around the house yesterday. Most are hubby's; i.e. credit cards statements, insurance, loan statement etc. It took me almost whole day yesterday to file up those documents in few paper files. Still, the letters never stop coming in. Sigh!

I also create one file under our house loan. Currently we only paying the interest which is around RM900+ per month. Mind you, we have yet to pay for the principal. According to the developer, the house should be ready by next month, but we have yet to receive any notice on the handover. Up to date, the bank has paid the developer more than 90% and after I checked my S&P, it left the last portion of the payment. Which means my house is nearly complete. Everyday I am checking the mailbox for the letter from the developer, saying my house is ready and keys to be collected from them. *wink* And from there, it would be a busy time; planning for the furnishing and furniture.

"He" and "She"

I was explaining to my 3 years old girl the difference between boys and girls one day. I guess it was time for her to know the difference. I told her that a girl like her wears dresses and put on beautiful stuff. And boy wears pants and shorts. Girl usually has longer hair while boy wears short hair.

One day while I was changing Baby Jay's diaper, my little gal asked me about penis. She was curious about Baby Jay's penis and wonder why her little brother has it, so I told her that is a penis (I used "little bird" term for penis). I also told her that only boys have penises. That another difference between boys and girls.

I am very open-minded when it comes to sexuality as there is nothing to be ashamed of. So she was pretty comfortable seeing me walking in the room naked. *wink* Sometimes she will compare her breasts with mine. So I told her that mummy is a big girl called "woman" and when she grows bigger like mummy, she will have bigger breasts and becomes a woman like mummy. Sometimes she will take my bra, putting it on her chest and parading around. Lol!!

When she quarrels with her dad, she will use "boy" more than "man" to her dad. Like "Daddy is a lazy boy, always play computer games". Now she is becoming to be a great nagger like me. Lol!! Like the saying that goes "Boys will always be boys!"

The shopping goes on

Don’t you think that time is flying by us faster and faster each day? Now it is almost end of October and November is around the corner. Oh dear! And it means that hubby’s birthday, Christmas and New Year are what ahead of me.

In other word, it is spending time. Birthday present for hubby in November, presents for everyone on Christmas Day and time to shop for Chinese New Year which fall in February (in 4 months time). Oh dear, how I wish money would fall down from the sky so I have enough to shop. Oh yes, I am day-dreaming (or shall I say "night-dreaming"?) and thinking of the impossible again!

Riding the bike

Darling hubby has been on diet programme for a month now and he has lost 4 kg since then. Every day he would proudly show off his waist line to me. He can fit into most of his pants now.

I have to remind him now and then that diet itself would not do good if he did not exercise too. Hubby has a bad ankle so jogging is not a good idea. Swimming would not be good either since it has been raining almost every afternoon and evening, and public swimming pool is not open till later in the morning. So I suggested to him riding a bicycle instead. I told him to take out his mountain bike that has been idle in the store for many months now. The mountain bike was actually a gift from my dad. My dad knew hubby loves bike so he gave him one mountain bike last year.

After many days of nagging, darling hubby has finally took out his bicycle from the store last night. Hubby is thinking of riding at the nearby park early in the morning since most of the evening, we have heavy shower here. It is a better option as I do not encourage him to ride in the neighbourhood area. One reason is that there are many cars and dogs around, and secondly there are no proper bike lanes for bikers. So to be safe on a bike, it is advisable for him to bring his bicycle in his car and ride at the nearby park.

However when we checked his bicycle last night, we discovered that its bicycle saddle has torn and both tires are flat. So hubby may needs to change the bicycle saddle and both tires. It is coincident that we chance upon this wonderful online bikes store last night. Makaibikes.com is a great site as we found many nice bicycle saddles there. It is so much fun to shop at MakaiBikes.com because of its choices of bicycles and accessories and not only that. It offers free shipping and 30 days satisfaction guarantee as well.

Hubby is also considering to change the tires to SweetSkinz Tires. SweetSkinz tires are so stylish. There are so many saddles and tires to choose from Makaibikes.com. Darling hubby could not decide which one to get. Some more they are having sales till this Sunday 18 October, so it is a good bargain. Hubby must decide which saddle and tires to buy fast.

Hmm, probably I will get one bike myself, but unfortunately I do not know how to ride one. What a shame! All my family members know how to ride bikes and my dad is into bikes business now. I guess if there is a will, there is a way. Since I am not working and I have some free times during the day, maybe I can practice how to ride a bike. Probably I need to get those training wheels installed as I do not want to get myself hurt.
